40k in a nutshell: *Depression.* Seriously, contemplating the millenia of war and rebellion and treachery and bloodshed it can be deemed that 40k is grimdark, but when it comes down to it, with context, the Horus Heresy and the stagnancy of the Imperium that followed is probably the most depressing chain of events in fiction.

Another element of depression...Chaos gods once time were positive beings who after millenia of bullshit negative emotions got turned into those things!
Depressive perhaps, but not depression. Depression is a profound lack of motivation and purpose. The outcome of that is not doing anything. Life is a constant struggle and effort. If there is no reward for the struggle, there is no point struggling. But that is not the case with the Imperium. The Imperial Guard, the citizens, fight.

Vulkan cradling one of his dead sons will forever be one of the saddest things I'll see in this franchise knowing how much he cares for every living human around him. He did not want this, he did not want a galaxy thats drowning in clonflict... For conflict only leaves him to see his sons dead and burried and we all know the weight that brings on a father that loves his sons dearly...
One of the saddest things is horus before falling was argubly the nicest primarch, to his sons, he knelt down to listen to them and lowered himself to them, he use to take advice and straight critism to imrpove with them and even affoicately reffered to one of them as little horus, he also priased and generally acted like a farther stern but very loving
You underestimate Horus' ability to be what he was required to be in any given situation, given his company. he played all roles, a warm father, an approving master, a staunch ally, a devoted son, a diplomatic negotiator, a keen strategic mastermind.... his ability to first give of himself earnestly, and then later to fool everyone, is what made him the most enigmatic and dangerous amongst the Primarchs. he was far ever from predictable. he was attuned to, and keen for approval and adoration.
@@frostwalker9902 sees that one his sons loves him but that love reduces the his combat effectiveness so destroy his prized city and genocide his beloved sisters and brothers
I thought this video would make me laugh. But in reality it saddens my mood. I know Warhammer is a fictional universe but the loss of so much lifes, the bright future of mankind and the vision of the emperor is a hard brick to swallow. We were so close...
And as a result, we ended up in a despotic, totalitarian, fascist state, spread over the entire galaxy, where human life is worthless. With little hope that this is not forever.
Trillions of civilians washed away by apocalyptic battles, billions of confused mortal soldiers completely unaware of the sides they are taking, millions of astartes slaughtered upon the blades of their brothers, most of the Custodes slain defying the unending hordes of daemons within the webway, thousands of titans ravaged and even crucified, many primarchs and finally the Emperor and his last remaining friend in life... All gone. All burnt away on the pyre of Horus' folly. His own legion shattered beyond redemption. His own body a plaything of the 3rd legion apothecaries. His soul, unexisting. His allies, barking and biting at each other as if they are a bunch of starving dogs... All of that because he trusted the words of a Word Bearer above the Emperor. Say it. Say it with me brothers. .

"We wanted the Primarchs to turn against one another. Against their father. Be assured, we maneuvered each of them from the moment of their rediscovery, pitting them against one another, stoking their brotherly rivalries with His unequal favor." - Malcador source: First Lord of the Imperium
I was present at the Siege of Terra. I fought my cousins on the walls of the Imperial Palace. I helped retake one of the spaceports. I held my dying brothers and swore vengeance. I achieved vengeance. I followed my Khan into the Webway and the threshold sealed behind us. Thirty-five brothers, the Khan, and I all ventured into the Webway, and I lost 35 brothers over the next five thousand years. When I finally returned to see what the Imperium had become in my absence, in 998.M41, I wept, for the Imperium that I had fought for no longer existed, and in it's place was the very Imperium Horus had fought to create.
The HH’s length helps it hit so much harder. So much time to explore every angle of the conflict. My fav is when Marines/characters argue if the Heresy was foreseen by the Emperor or not, and if not, how tf it was even possible
A man, no matter how strong, is only a man. Horus' convictions and arrogance led him down a path of utter darkness. For all the Ceramite, Gene Seed, and Bolters, Astartes are still human. All it takes to fall to ruin is to question yourself and the very existence of the universe. Stay steadfast in your morals, and never doubt yourself about who you are or why you fight. You'll always be the villain in somebody's story, just make sure you don't find yourself becoming the villian in yours. Iron Within Iron Without.
The Sky burned, the Seas boiled and the world ended. But perhaps worst yet, the Imperium still wakes up for another day of work for the next 10 thousand years
I have never been so invested in a fictional universe before. I thought it was kinda cringe to be, like those weird star trek/harry potter weirdos. But only if Horus hadn't betrayed the Emperor... Oh, what could have been!
The tragedy is quite well made, a true shining hope for a at one point doomed humanity, dashed by a person who did it for the very same reason and people that hope was doing it for (in the beginning for horus at least)
“ So let their be war! From the skies of terra to the galactic rim! Let their seas boil let their stars fall! Even if it takes the last drop of my blood!
Когда понимаешь что ощущал каждый человек в Империуме в тот момент... Когда твой друг, знакомый или даже брат мог предать; когда твоя планета могла сгореть в войне, в любой момент; когда тебе приходится на передовой стрелять в своих бывших союзников...
I see a lot of people saying the emperor should have bee a better dad. I think the primarchs should have been better people. They were already grown men when he found them, and were told upfront that they were created for the specific purpose unifying and improving the galaxy. The ones who fell were just selfish, not having the strenght of character to put themselves aside for humanitys future
I mean angron was basically screwed from the beginning. Magnus fall was part of tzeentches plan though his arrogance did kinda contribute to it Fulcrum was possessed by an extremely powerful demon though I think that was retconed I mean yeah logar should be hated but if the emperor didn’t want to be worshipped then probably don’t be all godlike and use religious terms in the imperium. I forgot the others
@@nomus1172 perty was treated horribly by the emperor from the perspective as even just a leader still I think joining chaos was stupid enough that I still blame him mortarion was accually a petulant child, but he was kept in a cage for years so you couldn't have expected too much strenght of character Konrad was done so stupendously dirty outside of his own control I don't even blame him and frankly Ima be real and say horus shouldn't have fallen, he was the closest of the primarchs to the emperor, and of what I know they didnt do any mind bullshit trickey, erebus just *tried to convince him* that Big E was trying to be a god, which even if he belived him, (which anyone that close to someone would have known something about how emp just wanted humanity to become the greatest in the galaxy'n'all) he would have at least Done some investigation about it for or at least ask about, now if that whole theory about how no matter what chaos get half then everything makes sense.
Grown man that STILL could and WAS influenced by him Angron is literally a complete failure of his, Angron was doing a good thing, even with the nails he tried to do good, and the emperor kidnapped him to literally sacrifice him when the crusade ended Lorgar was completely loyal until he BLOW UP HIS CITY, the dude could have done SO MUCH BETTER Mortarion Fulgrim and Kurze kinda suck btw Magnus was arrogant but the emperor eclipsed him with his ego, he could have teach him what really was the warp, SHOW him what really was, but no. Sometimes the emperor just seem like the typical "I am too smart to lost time with a explanation"
@@lutokill4784 Angron was lost to the nails regardless , Lorgar was warned multiple times and just didnt give a shit so an example had to be made and Magnus was so arrogant of his superiority that he made his own downfall , he was warned by both the greatest scholars on Prospero and the Emperor of his pursuit of warp power and yet he ignored it.
Still cant believe the huge amount of lore this fucking universe has, and this is just the space marines/primearchs. Thats not even all of the human faction, its insane! So glad the lore practically absorbed me
According to Malcador in The Sigillite, they wanted the primarchs to turn against each other, and against them. But it happened too early. And it wasn't supposed to be Horus. And that's why things went as bad as they did. But up until the end, they trusted their strategy was working mostly as planned
@@tgst1181 I guess the original idea was to let Lorgar lead the heresy with Konrad, Angron, Mortarion, Fulgrim and Perturabo but due to Chaos got Horus so many other fell as well.
"A child who is not embraced by his village will burn it to feel its warmth" That's what Horus did. "let the galaxy burn." he said. The Emperor managed to create godlike warriors and strategist, but he failed to give them what they really needed: a father. He raised them to be demigod-like in their behaviour. However, he failed to realize that humans, unlike gods, are not meant to be perfect...
Also Malcador: "I fucking told you to have some daughters instead of all sons and that they would all fight each other if you didn't!" Only human with the balls to tell the Emperor I told you so. He was truly Emps best friend.
@@fernhausluv44 you know Warhammer 40k was also inspired with religion, I didn't mean that jesus is the Emperor of Mankind, I just guessing it so don't take it seriously mate.
Silly enough, but this little video manages to evoke a real feeling of "nostalgia and sadness" for the lost emperium, the plans of the emperor and the great crusade......real disappointment, sadness and nostalgia for a fictional universe (or maybe not entirely fictional. ...)))
I hate SO MUCH the interpretation of the emperor of "I am super chad and planned the Heresy" I love the interpretation that he knew the Heresy would happen, tried to control it and backfired in his face because of his failures and ego And in the end, the only person he still considered a friend, desintegrated to give him a chance to end it all And he STILL lost Sanguinius and is now stuck in a throne that slowly is killing him

The Sky burned, the Seas boiled and the world ended. But perhaps worst yet, the Imperium still wakes up for another day of work for the next 10 thousand years
" we were so close " :(
I have never been so invested in a fictional universe before. I thought it was kinda cringe to be, like those weird star trek/harry potter weirdos.
But only if Horus hadn't betrayed the Emperor... Oh, what could have been!
This is too painful
40k because you cant have nice things.
Only the broken dreams of what it could it be.
The tragedy is quite well made, a true shining hope for a at one point doomed humanity, dashed by a person who did it for the very same reason and people that hope was doing it for (in the beginning for horus at least)
I’m not crying, your crying!
“ So let their be war! From the skies of terra to the galactic rim! Let their seas boil let their stars fall! Even if it takes the last drop of my blood!
"Let the galaxy , BUURRRN"
What's tragedy?
Give them hope on a place they could reach, then grab it and smash it in front of them.
if only this caught on as a meme the same as the "lore" memes did.
Just 20 minute adventure
In and out, 20 minutes.
10 thousand years later
@@azariah_kyras what have we done
Warhammer 40.000 is my favourite sci-fi fantasy war themed tragedy.
Когда понимаешь что ощущал каждый человек в Империуме в тот момент...
Когда твой друг, знакомый или даже брат мог предать; когда твоя планета могла сгореть в войне, в любой момент; когда тебе приходится на передовой стрелять в своих бывших союзников...
Wow. This version of this song is 10x better
From the skies of terra to the galactic rim the galaxy........burned....all in the name of war masters ambition.
Truly Masterpiece.
One Crusade.... one Goal.... Destroyed in one moment of weakness..... 10 000 years of Stagnation, decay and Ruin....
I see a lot of people saying the emperor should have bee a better dad. I think the primarchs should have been better people. They were already grown men when he found them, and were told upfront that they were created for the specific purpose unifying and improving the galaxy. The ones who fell were just selfish, not having the strenght of character to put themselves aside for humanitys future
I mean angron was basically screwed from the beginning.
Magnus fall was part of tzeentches plan though his arrogance did kinda contribute to it
Fulcrum was possessed by an extremely powerful demon though I think that was retconed
I mean yeah logar should be hated but if the emperor didn’t want to be worshipped then probably don’t be all godlike and use religious terms in the imperium.
I forgot the others
@@nomus1172 perty was treated horribly by the emperor from the perspective as even just a leader still I think joining chaos was stupid enough that I still blame him
mortarion was accually a petulant child, but he was kept in a cage for years so you couldn't have expected too much strenght of character
Konrad was done so stupendously dirty outside of his own control I don't even blame him
and frankly Ima be real and say horus shouldn't have fallen, he was the closest of the primarchs to the emperor, and of what I know they didnt do any mind bullshit trickey, erebus just *tried to convince him* that Big E was trying to be a god, which even if he belived him, (which anyone that close to someone would have known something about how emp just wanted humanity to become the greatest in the galaxy'n'all) he would have at least Done some investigation about it for or at least ask about, now if that whole theory about how no matter what chaos get half then everything makes sense.
Grown man that STILL could and WAS influenced by him
Angron is literally a complete failure of his, Angron was doing a good thing, even with the nails he tried to do good, and the emperor kidnapped him to literally sacrifice him when the crusade ended
Lorgar was completely loyal until he BLOW UP HIS CITY, the dude could have done SO MUCH BETTER
Mortarion Fulgrim and Kurze kinda suck btw
Magnus was arrogant but the emperor eclipsed him with his ego, he could have teach him what really was the warp, SHOW him what really was, but no.
Sometimes the emperor just seem like the typical "I am too smart to lost time with a explanation"
Then explain to them what your goals are and just say iam making humanity perfect without any explanation
@@lutokill4784
Angron was lost to the nails regardless , Lorgar was warned multiple times and just didnt give a shit so an example had to be made and Magnus was so arrogant of his superiority that he made his own downfall , he was warned by both the greatest scholars on Prospero and the Emperor of his pursuit of warp power and yet he ignored it.
Still cant believe the huge amount of lore this fucking universe has, and this is just the space marines/primearchs.
Thats not even all of the human faction, its insane!
So glad the lore practically absorbed me
“Damn bro maybe being a good dad is worth my time”
According to Malcador in The Sigillite, they wanted the primarchs to turn against each other, and against them. But it happened too early. And it wasn't supposed to be Horus. And that's why things went as bad as they did. But up until the end, they trusted their strategy was working mostly as planned
@@tgst1181 I guess the original idea was to let Lorgar lead the heresy with Konrad, Angron, Mortarion, Fulgrim and Perturabo but due to Chaos got Horus so many other fell as well.
"A child who is not embraced by his village will burn it to feel its warmth"
That's what Horus did. "let the galaxy burn." he said.
The Emperor managed to create godlike warriors and strategist, but he failed to give them what they really needed: a father.
He raised them to be demigod-like in their behaviour. However, he failed to realize that humans, unlike gods, are not meant to be perfect...
Girls: "I can't belive he didn't cry during Titanic! Do men even have feelings?"
Boys:
Remember, it's all Eldar fault
"HE'S DEAD CONSTANTINE! ALL THE PLANS TOO! WE'VE PISSED LIKE DOGS ALL OVER THEIR GALAXY AND NOW IT REEKS WITH OUR SPORE"
For this reason ladies and gentlemen take care of your children you never know when some could unleash an interplanetary war for having Daddy Issues
Pain, agony even.
Horus Heresy gotta be my favorite character in the Horus heresy
U can run from ur childrens but u can't run from child support but this time u can't run from whole galaxy war
In the end, 845 000 people died in combat, making the Heresy 4295623712421899th greatest war in history of mankind
Yo escuché que murieron unas 13,000,000,000 de personas
1:10 i alt tabbed back to the video and this picture with the song gave me goosebumps
Heartbreaking, depressing, dark ....and we f**king love it all
The Horus Heresy... the darkest Civil War the Imperium has ever had.
The great collapse of the imperium of mankind and his golden era
All Lorgar ever wanted was the truth.
Also Malcador: "I fucking told you to have some daughters instead of all sons and that they would all fight each other if you didn't!"
Only human with the balls to tell the Emperor I told you so. He was truly Emps best friend.
This song works well with 40k
We never forget Istvaan
Emperor: Don't... say... a word ...
Yknow if the Emperor just had a regular-sized door then Horus wouldn't have been able to get in 🥴
/s
I'm reading The Horus Heresy series right now, this hits hard.
You know I'm starting to feel that the Emperor of Mankind was just Jesus in cooler version
there's a distinct possibility that he was, at one point, Jesus
Oh...The Emperor? You mean 'asshole bad father Napoleon-Jesus?'
@@fernhausluv44 you know Warhammer 40k was also inspired with religion, I didn't mean that jesus is the Emperor of Mankind, I just guessing it so don't take it seriously mate.
The horus heresy has more similarities with satan's betrayal of god. Both Horus and Satan were angels who betrayed their father and fell from grace.
@@Carl-wd5yt that's true
This is like too much bread spread over not enough butter
I really REALLY want a Horus Heresy game about the Siege of Terra.
I'm not cry, it's just tears
Silly enough, but this little video manages to evoke a real feeling of "nostalgia and sadness" for the lost emperium, the plans of the emperor and the great crusade......real disappointment, sadness and nostalgia for a fictional universe (or maybe not entirely fictional. ...)))
Watching your dream burned and destroyed while you sit on toilet is not fun.
daddy issues is the greatest threat to the universe
Grim dark aside the story of 40k really is a tragedy
The kids aren't alright, Emps.
"My god oh no everything went wrong, go back! Go back!"
I never wanted to send out my legions
Till this day, I believe with sorrows, that it was the Dark Angel that won, and it wasn't Horus who was put to rest.
I hate SO MUCH the interpretation of the emperor of "I am super chad and planned the Heresy"
I love the interpretation that he knew the Heresy would happen, tried to control it and backfired in his face because of his failures and ego
And in the end, the only person he still considered a friend, desintegrated to give him a chance to end it all
And he STILL lost Sanguinius and is now stuck in a throne that slowly is killing him
Perturabo, Konrad & Angron: "YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE!"
Malcador the Hero.
